Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:7 dcf]:
 > Stop the broker with `sv stop snowflake-broker` so it stops trying to
 write logs. Then free up some space; usually `apt autoclean` and `apt
 autoremove` work. Compress the old log with `xz -v /var/log/snowflake-
 broker/current`. Then modify the service files; on the snowflake bridge
 host, you can see the runit changes made in /etc for proxy-go with `git
 show 18d2e70837f8434827ff2d92f1c1901f7be29569`. Then, you'll also need to
 edit the `config` file in /var/log/snowflake-broker/ as shown. Finally
 restart with `sv start snowflake-broker`.

 A few changes we had to make to this plan: there wasn't enough disk space
 to even run `apt autoclean`, so we had to download the log file, delete it
 from the server, and re-upload a compressed version after we'd finished
 the other steps. We had to stop and start the snowflake-broker/log service
 separately from the snowflake-broker one. We didn't need to modify any
 service files, because it turns out that the snowflake-broker service was
 already set up to log using svlogd. So we only had to edit the /var/log
 /snowflake-broker/config file to add rotation and compression, as in
 comment:6:ticket:28390.
